These stakeholders were organized as one ETC Scrum team, empowered from the very beginning from the agile transformation kickoff meeting and every release review meeting. These meetings were important rituals to let psychology of success work invisibly and subconsciously. After the pilot was successful, we needed to take the positive momentum to make a bigger change — reorganization happen. All organizational stakeholders owned their decisions and commitments, engaged their actions, and they enjoyed their outcomes and achievements.

The last and most important thing is that as an agile coach I do find my true north, that my TRUE heart is to make the people better and the organization better. No matter how skillful you are, only with your true heart can you unlock doors for people and never give up during the extremely tough journeys.

This paper would not have been possible without the help of many great people. Finally, I would sincerely thank Johanna Rothman, my dearest shepherd, for guiding me in writing a professional paper. Her great patience and rich energy impressed me a lot.

During this paper shepherding, she asked me a lot of powerful questions and allowed me think much more deeply. Furthermore, she mentored me about how to improve work efficiency, and provided plenty of wise and practical advices about career development and personal life.

She is my role model and a woman I want to be. April 11, ISBN Addison-Wesley Professional. May 28, February 5, You must be logged in as a Member to download this content. Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly.

A detailed analysis of 14 cultural dimensions, this research revealed key dif- ferences related to the dimensions of Particularism, Specific and Emotions display. The Czechs and the Slovaks themselves have identified those areas before by them- selves. The Czechs view the Slovaks as more relationships oriented and point out their more evident display of emotions during professional or private events. Vi- ce-versa, the Slovaks expect their Czech colleagues to be more rule-driven, task orien- tated and more neutral with their emotions.

While those dif ferences are not considered an obstacle for doing business or working together, they need to be carefully taken into account when cooperating with Czech and Slovak cultures.
